Post-operative imaging of soft tissue sarcomas
Soft tissue sarcomas are uncommon malignancies that have a high risk of local recurrence despite adequate initial surgery. The aim of follow-up imaging with any malignancy is to detect recurrence promptly so that treatment can be instigated at the earliest possible opportunity. In this review article, we discuss the imaging modalities that can be employed to detect local recurrence following su...
متن کاملDiagnostic imaging update: soft tissue sarcomas.
BACKGROUND No single imaging approach is ideal for every tumor. While radiography can be effective for diagnosis of specific tumors, additional imaging is often required. Soft tissue sarcomas require a multimodality approach. METHODS The authors discuss the general imaging approaches for patients who present with soft tissue masses, the fundamental principles inherent to tumor imaging, and th...
متن کاملSoft Tissue Sarcomas
Soft tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of malignant neoplasms of mesenchymal origin. They account for approximately 1% of all cancer diagnoses and 7% of pediatric malignancies (1,2). Just over half of these patients eventually succumb as a result of the disease. Soft tissue sarcomas typically present as asymptomatic large masses within the retroperitoneum or the proximal lower limbs but...
متن کاملImaging applications in multicatheter brachytherapy for soft tissue sarcomas
Multicatheter brachytherapy can be applied as a monotherapy or in combination with external beam radiotherapy as an adjuvant treatment for soft tissue sarcoma. Successful application of brachytherapy in the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma requires implementation of multiple imaging modalities during preoperative and postoperative planning. Preoperative imaging is essential in planning local th...
متن کاملSoft-tissue Sarcomas
This article discusses the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of primary soft-tissue sarcomas (STS). These musculoskeletal tumors are a rare and heterogeneous group of malignancies, which are best managed by multidisciplinary teams in specialist sarcoma referral centers. Historically, the standard for local control of these tumors has been amputation. Evolutions in multimodality treatment ...
